CHARLOTTE — “We have a sanctuary trifecta in Gov. Cooper, Dan McCready and Sheriff McFadden,” declared Sen. Dan Bishop following the veto of legislation that requires sheriffs to cooperate with federal ICE detainers.
Bishop called on McCready to break with his party and live up to his campaign slogan by supporting a veto override that would prevent dangerous criminal illegals from being released on the public.
Sen. Bishop renewed his call for Mecklenburg Sheriff Garry McFadden’s resignation and again condemned his catch and release policy for criminal illegal immigrants that has already seen a slew of dangerous offenders — at least 22 according to ICE — back on Charlotte streets rather than in federal custody.
McFadden’s refusal to cooperate with ICE detainers has allowed illegal immigrants to be released whose alleged crimes include: first-degree rape, indecent liberties with a minor, assault on a female, communicating threats, assault by strangulation, first degree kidnapping, assault on a female, domestic violence protective order violations, and robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury. Federal officials warn this policy could make Charlotte a haven for illegal immigration.
“It is beyond comprehension how anyone could side with dangerous criminal illegal immigrants over the people they are victimizing, yet here we find three extremists of the radical left, Governor Cooper, Dan McCready and Sheriff McFadden, doing just that,” said Sen. Bishop. “This reckless policy is an outrage that hurts innocent crime victims, many of them women and girls victimized by domestic violence and sex crimes. Dan McCready’s refusal to utter a peep makes a mockery of his sloganeering vow to put country over party.
“If there is any substance to that claim, he will break with Cooper and McFadden and support a veto override,” he added. “The people of the 9th District are watching.”
